Eglinton East Light Rail Transit (EELRT) Project

Background

The City of Toronto, together with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), is planning the Eglinton East Light Rail Transit (EELRT) project, a rapid transit line proposed to span across eastern Scarborough. The project consists of:

• An LRT operating within the centre of the roadway on a dedicated guideway, separated from vehicle traffic
• A route extending 18.6 km from Kennedy Station to Malvern Town Centre via the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC), with a connection to the future Line 2 terminus at Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road
• 27 stops along the route, including five interchanges with other major transit lines
• Extensive public realm improvements along the route informed by the City’s Complete Streets Guidelines, including protected bikeways, wider sidewalks, multi-use paths and greenery
• A maintenance and storage facility (MSF) at Conlins Road and Sheppard Avenue East for the LRT vehicles and an estimated 15 traction power substations (TPSS) along the route

Public Consultation

The same information will be provided at each drop-in event. Tamil, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Gujarati-speaking interpreters will be present at events in addition to children’s activities.

In addition, the public and interested parties are encouraged to participate virtually by visiting the project webpage where:

• Starting May 15, public drop-in materials will be available, and an online survey will be active until June 30.
• Between May 29 and June 30, a draft version of the Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be available.
